She opened the door with a trembling hand, expecting to find her friend. Instead, a tall figure cloaked in shadows stood in the doorway. Startled by the unexpected presence, she stepped back and her heart pounded. The figure made no sound and stood still, seemingly lost in thought. She wanted to speak, but before she could utter a word, the figure stepped forward, revealing a single rose in its hand. Taking the rose, she felt an overwhelming sense of something unknown, something of which she could not explain.
